Commenting on the quarter, Adam Bennett, Plenti’s Chief Executive Officer said:
“Plenti delivered another outstanding quarter to achieve a third consecutive quarterly loan
originations record of $437 million. It’s been very pleasing to see momentum continuing to
build in the business as we focus on delivering for our customers and other partners, strong
operational execution and differentiation through technology across our core products. I’m
particularly pleased by how Plenti has continued to build on deep commercial partnerships
with NAB and Tesla and once again demonstrated our collaboration and integration
capabilities by winning and delivering the WA Government Residential Battery Scheme
tender. This result gives us a great foundation to build on as we push towards a $3 billion
loan book by the end of this financial year.”

Plenti’s loan portfolio, which is a key driver of revenue and profitability, increased to $2.7
billion at 30 June, a 21% increase from 30 June 2024 and a 6% increase from 31 March 2025.

Loan originations and margins
Overall originations result
Plenti delivered record loan originations in the quarter of $437 million, up 44% on the prior
corresponding period (PCP) and up 7% on the prior record in the preceding quarter. This
result reflects continued strong momentum in core products supported by meaningful
growth in NAB powered by Plenti (NPBP) car loan volumes. Seasonally, the quarter saw a
softer April given public holidays in the month, with an offset in June which typically sees
stronger demand leading into the financial year end, particularly in automotive channels.
Product level originations
Automotive loan originations were $229 million, up 50% on PCP and up 17% on prior quarter.
Growth against the prior quarter was driven by both consumer and commercial offerings
with June, in particular, seeing a seasonal demand uplift. Strong growth in the NPBP product
also contributed solidly, as covered further below.
Quarterly renewable energy loan originations were $49 million, up 13% on PCP but down 7%
on the prior quarter, reflecting some customers deferring battery installations until after 1
July 2025 to secure access to rebates being made available by Federal and State
Governments. Government battery rebate programs are a positive for medium term sector
demand, which Plenti remains well positioned to capture given its proprietary
GreenConnect platform which simplifies battery and virtual power plant uptake for
consumers. An all-time renewable energy loan application record was set during June as
installers and consumers prepared for the battery rebate schemes to commence.
Personal loan originations were $160 million, up 48% on PCP and broadly consistent with the
prior quarter. The result reflected continued investment in digital acquisition channels and
deepening technology integrations with key partners, together with further advancements
in automated ‘straight-through-processing’ credit approvals. Originations also continued to
benefit from repeat and cross-sell origination volumes from existing borrowers.
Margins
Overall net interest margins on new loan originations were marginally up on the prior
quarter. April saw strong margins given a rapid drop in market interest rates in the period,
but margins had returned to levels more in line with medium-term averages by June.
NAB partnership
As anticipated, the NAB powered by Plenti car loan continued to accelerate with the average
value of originations per business day increasing 110% in 1Q26 on 4Q25. The NPBP loan
portfolio increased to $38.7 million from $16.7 million at the end of the prior quarter. With
ongoing marketing and continued refinement of the product offering and customer journey,
Plenti and NAB remain focused on continuing to build momentum in the product
throughout the coming quarters.
WA Residential Battery Scheme
In early June, Plenti won the tender to be the administrator and financier for Western
Australia’s Residential Battery Scheme, a significant initiative aimed at accelerating the
adoption of home batteries across the state. Plenti’s appointment reinforces its position as a
leader in financing household electrification, with a proven track record in providing clean
energy funding to households across Australia. This administrator role delivers on Plenti’s
strategy to leverage its technology platform to drive partnerships with large organisations to
build out increasingly diverse distribution channels.
Through its flexible proprietary technology platform, Plenti was able to design and build a
solution to deliver streamlined access to rebates and finance to accredited installers within
6 weeks, culminating in the program launching on 1 July 2025.
Credit performance
Annualised net losses for the quarter were 94 basis points, down from 116 basis points in the
March quarter. The result reflected the credit strength of Plenti’s prime portfolio as well as
stable macroeconomic conditions in the period, including continued employment strength
and mortgage interest rate reductions. The result also benefitted from strong recoveries in
the period as well as the base effect from an acceleration in portfolio growth given record
originations.
The loan portfolio weighted average Equifax credit score remained high at 847 at the end of
1Q26, compared with 846 at the end of 4Q25, reflecting Plenti’s continued focus on lending
to prime credit customers.
Funding
Plenti completed a $400 million personal and renewable energy loan ABS transaction in May
2025. The transaction saw a record number of investors participate for a Plenti ABS, with
strong pricing outcomes achieved. Despite market volatility arising from the US policy
announcements, the weighted average margin on the notes of 1.40% was lower than the
1.44% weighted margin achieved in the PL & Green 2024-2 ABS in late 2024.
Plenti has now completed over $3.8 billion of ABS issuance across 10 transactions.
FY26 objectives
Plenti’s objectives for the year to 31 March 2026 are set out below:
Priority
FY26 objective
Growth
- $3bn loan book by March 2026 in Horizon 1 with acceleration of
origination growth into Horizon 2
Profitability

Efficiency
- Deliver previously communicated $25 million of efficiency as loan

FY26
Plenti remains on track to deliver these objectives.
